"Beautiful Property Let Down by 3-Star Service, This was our second stay at Radisson Blu Djerba, but it will be our last. Having traveled extensively in Tunisia for 25 years, with a Tunisian husband, we know this lack of service is not a country culture issue, but a major management problem. We have received far better service in 3-star hotels.
The Good: The property is beautiful and clean. Breakfast food is excellent with a vast choice, shout-out to the egg chef, the orange juice man, and Hamza the bartender, who was the only one who actually engaged with us.
The Bad: Bar service was incredibly poor. We waited over 10 minutes in an empty bar and had to find staff twice. Dirty ashtrays were ignored, and a pile of swept-up trash was left on the floor for everyone to step over until Hamza cleaned it. We complained to the F&B manager; service improved for one day, then reverted. At breakfast, we constantly had to hunt down cutlery and condiments because tables were left uncleared and unprepared.
The Ugly: Housekeeping failed daily. We had one cup for two people, missed water twice, no fresh face cloths, and my reading glasses disappeared. Guest Services were useless. We got no room directions, no breakfast info, and no welcome drink. The agent walked away mid-check-in. We waited 30 minutes in our room for luggage because Guest Services failed to communicate with the concierge.
Lovely hotel, but a 5-star rating requires 5-star service. Management needs to urgently retrain staff."
